What do you feed it? As a general rule, they will not take to spot feeding. Individuals may, or they may take to certain foods.

In addition, you have a tank that I think would be reasonably suitable (150 or so US gallons)

However, 4 months is not long enough to know how it is doing. 18 months is the critical period. They can be slowly starving the better part of a year without any signs of trouble, most unfortuntely.

The only Linckia type star that I would have fewer reservations about suggesting is the smaller Linckia multiflora. Acclimation, water quality, etc are still important, but this Linckia seems to do relatively better than nearly any other species.
